Google vs Microsoft

Google's co-founder Sergey Brin said that Microsoft's takeover bid for Yahoo is an unnverving manuever that threatens innovation on the internet. Brin also says that the merger could violate antitrust laws and harm Internet users. Google's chief legal officer David Drummond argued in a company blog saying that a merger between companies that control the Internet's two most heavily trafficked web portals could lead to abuses. Those could be limiting users' ability to easily access competing products from e-mail to instant messaging to Web-based services, such as those Google offers. Microsoft argued that it's commited to protecting innovation on the internet and that sealing the deal would allow Google to become even more dominant on the internet than it already is.
